People in Georgia have been protesting everyday for over a year (406+ days) but for whatever reason it’s not currently getting much media coverage likely because the media tends to not report on reoccurring protests.
There’s more information about the protests on the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024–2026_Georgian_protests
Basically they’re protesting due to election fraud, democratic backsliding and protesting against pro-Russia policies, they want to be aligned with the EU.
In the past decade there have been a drop in protests coverage worldwide, governments are now following instructions not to report on these.
Governments don’t own most media. For private companies that rely on money, clickthrough rates decrease for events that continue and that has to be one contribution for the decrease
That’s correct, those that own those governments own most media.
Multinational megabanks own most media, they control through DEBT
They also run THE FED, which is in direct control of the USAs money. The USA is not even in control of its own money.
Most media are indeed owned directly by governments or by people with ties to them.
Any chance you have some data to show how accurate that is? And, are you making a global statement, or just one about Georgia?
Go to reddit, pick the first media outlet you see and check who owns it, or check who owns reddit.
That’s not very statistically relevant.
Also… why reddit when we’re using Lemmy commenting on a channel designed for news links? Repeat your prompt for me?
We are talking about protests coverage and reddit is one of the most visited platforms in the world.
are you a bot?
what kind of debatelord nonsense is this
Even without outside intervention, something that happens every single day is not news.
Eh, that’s basically the exact definition of news actually lmao
